State-Changed-Why:
Thanks for the comments. Your main point is that you
would like a request for (say) doc.htm to negotiate
amongst files called doc.en.htm and doc.fr.htm. That
would involve a significant change from the current
behaviour, which will only negotiate amongst 
documents matching doc.htm.*. Your suggestion does make
sense, and would remove the artificial requirement that
extensions appear in a particular order (which is
not a requirement anywhere else in Apache). 

This is certainly something worth considering for
Apache 2.0. In the meantime I'll mark this PR as
"suspended" so that we do not forget about it.

For now, you could use the trick that you can repeat
extensions without altering how Apache deals with a file.
So you if called your files "doc.htm.en.htm" and 
"doc.htm.fr.htm" you can content negotiate on a request
for doc.htm and your editor would identify the file
as HTML.
